valentine's fever

We have Valentine's fever around here. In preparation for the big day, we have been getting our bake and craft on. If you walked into our home right now, you might ask "who threw up pink and red hearts all over the place?" Everybody perceives Valentine's Day differently. In our household, we have so many things to be thankful for, and I can't think of a better way than celebrating "love day." If you are looking for a few crafts to spice up your space, check out what we have been up to...

Each month I like to have a new theme when it comes to our playdough table. This month it is all about hearts.

Little Miss L.'s favourite thing to do...heart shaped cookies.

Time to make our tissue paper hearts. Super easy to make, all you need is card stock, tissue paper, and glue.

Little Miss L. working hard.

The finished product.

Our heart-shaped mobile.

The kids loved making this Valentine garland to hang in our playroom.

Baby D loves spending time just looking up at the pink, white, and red creation we made.

Baked Valentine's ornaments we made to hang throughout the house.

Little Miss L. loves her magnetic wall. I purchased pre-cut heart shapes out of foam at our local craft store and glued magnetic strips on the back. The kids spend countless hours making heart-shaped caterpillars and snowmen.
